I am not really a watch guy as I prefer to use my Apple Watch due to function but wow those are beautiful. Especially the first two, that blue is stunning. I am familiar with Chopard though as my parents own piece each.

It's probably "boring" or less exotic than what most people own here but this Rolex caught my eye ever since I saw it way back when. I had to have it. I only wear it for special occasions mostly but I think I've had it for about 15 years now? I am clearly a fan of the blue :wink:

Definitely try a different tip, what DAP are you using? I didn’t particularly like the RN6 through the DX320 max ti, this was a bright combo.
The Viking Ragnar through the iBasso DC Elite also was a bright combo for me. The iFi GoBar has much better synergy with it. The Elite work better with the LCD-5, though.

Thanks for helping me decide, the blue tourbillion at the top will be my reward this year if I meet my goals. The purple hued rolex "bluesy" is also a top blue dial. It started out blue but fades to purple with age.

I love it. Thankfully my wallet is "safe" as I'd rather spend that money on audio gear 😂 Beautiful watch though, I hope you get it!

Sorry thought you were talking RN6, I wasn’t a fan of the Noble VR, only source I liked them through was the Sony 1zm2.

Tried them through the Q5k, topping stack, r2r Dac. It’s either the seal or I just don’t like them. The treble is killing me and I’m coming from a Diana TC so I’m not treble sensitive. I have an Onkyo dap around here somewhere, gonna try that.

lol, Birken? Once she has one they become addicts, then she needs different sizes and colors, good luck.

Damn that looks good! I am a much bigger fan of the purple than the blue too...

They were talking RN6. I was just mentioning that it could be the source since I had a similar experience.

Great review, I experience Monachaa similarly. It's THE deal in TOTL.

On another note, new Pearl Jam album, Dark Matter, sounding great on (the not deal) Supreme v3!

When I first saw the picture of the IEM, I thought you just bought Anni 23 until I saw your description.
